HO M F OF FARMER JOHN.’ We stood together in early spring, Farmer John and I; Together heard the wild bird >ing, Farmer John and I; But few can thrive on songs or flowers, Bo iu toil we passed youth’s morning hours; He turned the furrow and dropped the seed, He sowed with clover the waiting mead, He pruned and grafted the orchard trees, He planted the garden and hived the bees; And I Kept the cottage trim and neat, While love made labor light, and sweet, fn the home of Farmer John. We stood together in mmmer time, We heard the brook’s slow-measured rhyme; But we could not wait to dream, for lo! If hands wore idle the weeds would growl So he toiled the tasseled corn among, Adowu the clover his scythe he swung; The path that, away to the sheep-Held led Echoed early and late his cheerful thread; And not till the stars shone out at night. Was there real or ease by th« tirosido bright In the home of Farmer John. We stood together in harvest hour, To count the wealth of the autumn’s dower; The huge, slow-moving loaded wain Had homeward brought the ripened grain; The barns were tilled from floor to eaves With fragrant hay and close-bound sheaves; The trees had showered their fruit of gold Far more than crowded bins could hold; But better aud best of all, wo knew, Had been love’s sunlight, warm and true, In the home of Farmer John. We stood together on winter’s crest, Farmer John an il; We saw the sun fade out in the west, Farmer John and 1; But what though spring, with its birds, had fled, And what though summer flowers wore dead I The song and fragrance that could not sleep Were hid away in our hearts to keep! And happy are we, though yours roll on, Till all life’s cummer timo is gone, And e’en its harvest-hour is past, For lore, wo know', will bloom to the last Iu the homo of Farmer John. —Louiso K.

After all, how few of us evor really know what wo mean? “I engaged mysolf once, when a girl, and the simpleton thought ho owned me. I soon took the conceit out of him und sent him away about his business.” The voice was now a little sharp. What wonder, with so galling a memory. “No man shall ever tyran nize over me—never! What tho mis- chiof dn you suppose is the matter with this sewing machine?” “Annoyed at your logic, most likoly,” said my friend, a bright, young matron, as she threaded her noodle. “My hus band is not a tyrant, Alias Kent.” “I am glad you lire satisfied," was tho laconic reply. Miss Kent was a IitLie woman, fair as a girl and plump as a robin. She wasn’t ashamed to own that she was forty years old and an old maid. Sho had earned her own living most of her life, and was proud of it. She was a good uur3o, n faithful friend and a jolly companion, hut stroke her the wrong way and you’d wish you hadn’t in much shorter time than it takes me to write it. “What are you going to do when you are old?” persisted the mistress of tho establishment. “What other folks do, 1 suppose." “But you can’t work forever.” “Can’t say that I want to.” “Now, Miss Kent, a husband with means, a kind, intelligent man—” “I don't want any man, I tell you, Mrs. Carlisle; 1 wouldn’t marry the best man living, if he were as rich us Croesus and would die if I didn’t li-ivo him.” There was something behind all this I knew well. My friend’s eyes danced with fun, and as Miss Kent fitted the waist, she threw mo a letter from the bureau. “Bead that,” she said with a know ing 'ook; “it may interest you.” This is what the letter saidt My i -nr Jennie—l shall be delighted to spend a month with you and your husband. There must he, however, one stipulation about mv visit—you must say nr more about marriage. I shall never be foolish again. Twenty years ago to-day I wrecked my whole lile. Ho unsuitiblo was this mar riage; so utterly had und wretched have been its urns (unices, that I am forced to beiieve tile marriage institution a mistake. Ho for the last time let m ) assure you that ] wouldn’t marry the h-*st woman that ever Jived, if by so doing X could save diet- life. Your old cousin, Mahk Lansinq. “Bich, isn’t it,” said Jennie,and thon pointed to tho chubby little figure, whose back happened to ho turned. I shook my heud and laughed. “You’ll see,” said tho incorrigible. “See what?" inquired Miss Kent,quite unaware of our pantomime. “That parties which are chemically attracted will unite. Don’t you think thissleove a little too long, Miss Kent?” “Not after the seam is off. But what were you saying, Mrs. Carlisle? Tho other day, at Professor Boynton’s, 1 saw some wonderful experiment*.” “And did the/, succeed?” inquired Jennie, demurely, “Beautifully.” “So will mine. I novel--yet botched a job In my life.” •* "1 don’t think I quite understand you,” replied Miss Keut, perplexed. “Nol 1 ftlpaya grow scientific when talkingubout marriage, ray dour.” btJieJ” was nil tho little woman ,, jut Die tone was much (letter-, naturoft than I expected.

After this occurrence, Miss Kent was n roitlly wonderful woman. Ah, what an arch plotter! She let them skirmish about, but not once did she givo them a olianco to bo alone to gether. Her plans were, not to be de stroyed by premature confidence uutil the very evening preceding Cousin Mark’s departure for California. Thon Miss Kent was very demurely askod to remain and keep au eye on Master Car lisle, whom Iho fond mother lid not care lo leave quite alone with Ills nurse. “Wo are compelled to ho gone a couplo of hours," sai l she, “but Cousin Mark will read to you—won’t you, cousin?” . “Certainly, if Miss Kont would llko it,” replied t,ho gentleman. The infant Carlisle, thanks to good management, was never awake in tho evening, so the victims of this matri- immal speculation would have plenty of time. Tho back parlor was tho room moot in use during the evening, find out of this room was a large closet witli a large blind vontilutor, and out of this closet a door loading to her back stoop and garden. Imagine the surprise wlion I was told that Mr. Carlisle was going to the lodge, and that we, after profuso warnings about the baby, nnu promises not to be gone too long, were to pro ceed to this closet overlooking tho back parlor by way of the back gate and gar den. In vain I protested. “Why, you little goose,” laughed Jen- nio, “there'll be fun enough to last a lifetime. John wanted to come awfully, but I knew he'd make an awful noiso and spoil everything, so I wouldn't let him." The wily schemer took the precaution to lock the closet door from tho outsido, so there was no fear of detection. On a high bench, still as a two mice, we awaited results. Presently Cousiu Murk, as if arousing' from a protracted reverie, asked; “Wc'-ld you like to have mo read?" “Oh, I’m not particular," replied Miss Kent. “Hero is an excellent nrticlo on dec- tivo affinities. II >iv would you like that?” Jennie’s elbow in my side almost look away my breath. “Who is it by?” she inquired. Jennie exclaimed (clear in my ear): .“That is to gain time, sue if it ain't,” “It's by a prominent Erencli writor, I believe," said Cousin Mark. “I don’t think I caro (or a translation to night," said Miss Kent. “Nor I; nor reading of any kind,” ho continued. “This is my last evening in Now York, Miss Kent.” “1 hope you've enjoyed your visit,” she returned. Jennie (into my very head this time';, 8ho’s as shy ns a throc-yonr-old colt." “I didn't think I should foci so had about leaving,’’ Cousin Mark wont on .“Ho is the wreck, you remember," whispered Jennie. A long pause. “1 think I hear tho baby," exolntmod Miss Kent. “(ill, no," said Cousin Mark. “You ate fond of babies, arc you not, Miss Kont ?” No answer from Miss Kent. “I have been a lonely man, Miss Kent," Cousiu Mark resumed, “but 1 never realized how lonely the rest of my life mast bo until I name to this house.” “Oil, how lonely,” echoed Jcunio. “Now I must return to my business and my boarding-house — boarding hotiso for u man so fond of domestic life as I am, Miss Kent. I have frionds in Han Francisco, of course, but no fireside liko this, no ono to care for me if ain ill, nobody to foul very badly if I die." “That'll foteli her,” Said Jonnio. “T wish that 1 lived in San Francisco,” said Miss Kent, In a little quivering voice. “You could call upon mo at any tiino if you needed anything.” Jlfiinic In.convulsions. J*If-you will go to California with mo, Miss Kent, I’ll wait another week." “Why,Mr. Causing,nfhtlt do you moan. What would folks say I” she said. “We don't cave for folks.*’ said Mark. "If you will go, wo will have a house, as plans flit as money cm make it. You aiiSlahavo birds an I flowers-su'd homes aud oil that you want, and you sluilT never sew another stitch lorauyblfiy but me. Will you lie mv wife?” Just then Jennie and I stepped luPRn- other peg, ami there was that little old maiil, who, would nol marry I lies best man that ever livod, hugged close to a man's breast who wouldn’t marry tho host woman that evor lived, uot oven to save hor life. Wo came away then, Iuig it's my opinion that they remained in just tlmt position till wo rang the boll buif an hour hilar. “Why, Miss Kent, what makes youi face so very red?” inquired Jcunio upon entering;“and Cousin Mark,how strange ly you look I Your hair is all mussed up.” “And I hope to have it mussed often,” said Cousin Mark, boldly. “Miss Kent and 1 are to be married this week.” Jennie laughed uutil her face was pur ple, and when I went up stairs Miss Kent was poundiug her back.—Baltimore UiOruld. Moxlo#’8 Hicli Onyx Minos. Concessions have been granted by tho Mexican General Government, and sup plementod by the Stato Government to a party of Americans, who will at once begin to work the famous onyx mines of Duraugo. A company composed of capitalists from HI. Louis, Chicago and Philadelphia has been formed for the purposo, and will ho ready to begin work in a vory short tiino. This valu able bed of beautiful stones lias been known to the people of this Htato for hundreds of years, and has furnished many fine specimens which have been sent to tho capital and to the United States for polishing, but there bus never been a regular effort to got tho stone out in any quantity, und the present grant of thousands of acres of laud is done for the purposo of developing the country. There are old quarries all over the vast mountain which is almost one Bolid mass of onyx from the centre to the circum ference, and it is Bnid that some of these quarries wore worked by the Spaniards when thoy first cnino to this country hundreds of years ago. Some of the quarries are known to have boon worked by the ancient Aztecs, and in several of them are found old implements which were used before white men came to America. In one of the ininos is to bo seou a magnificent specimen of tho rock, which is said to linvo been there over two hundred years and to have been carved out by old Indians ages ago. This specimen is most beautifully veined and is carved to bring out all its peculiar beauties. On it are many hieroglyphics, and it is said to have lieen a religious stone which was unfinished when the conquerors came ami was left just as it was found. It is seven feet long, livo foot wide ami three feet thick, ami is veined with four colors. It is under stood that tho stone will i>o sent to tho World’* Fair.—New York Herald. FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. AflrAllAflDB Kon FARMERS. There is no garden vegetable that can lie more easily grown and is a surer crop than tin- common asparagus. Everybody lilies it, nmi it comes so enrly that it gives additional zest, to the appetite, just ns warm weather suggests tho desirability of something green. It needs a dry rich soil, as deep as possible, though the old idea that it must be planted over a trcucli underlaid with stones is long since ex ploded. All the benelit this preparation secures is the drainage it affords, nmi drainage can be given iu much easier ways. Tho only reason why asparagus is not more generally grown is that it re quires some waiting after planting. A liltlo can be cut tho second soason if the soil lias been properly enriched, but the plants will grow stronger if allowed twe years’ growth without check. It does not pay for those desiring beds to plant the seed, as this necessitates a needless wailing for another year. The plants can bo purchased of any nurseryman,aud cost less for a bed large enough to supply any family than the farmer himself can grow ao smalt a quantity.—Boston Transcript. FEEDING! norm, - It is generally Hie rule with farmers of tiffs county, writes A.. E. Potter, of Tip- ton County, Inqhna, as is also the case with Winers in the greater part of this State, to feed"very little,if anything else, but corn to their hogs. However, coru is a vory good food ivhou taken in connection with othor food, toudipg to produce more bone and muscle* With hogs ttiflrc lias boon a consider able change, and thu farmer must breed and feed so as to supply ivlmt is needed ns fully as possible. Instead of a hog being extremely fat,, the market now de mands one with a proportion of fat and lean, und a smaller animal is wanted imd commands n hotter price per pound, and may bo placed on tho market at a less cost,than tho fnt one. One of tho principal causes of tho excess of fat with hog3 is the exclusive feeding of corn. A great ninny roly almost entirely upoif corn as a food for their hogs, not ouly in fattening, hut, 'also in foeding for growth. But corn aloes not possess the properties necessary iu producing bouo and mtiiolo required iu obtaining tho best results. Tho ■average farmer thinks that all that is required in preparing hogs for his incat or for the market, is to produco fat, ro- gardloss of what is necessary to produce 'good meat ill ai small a cost us pos sible. Afier an animal lias roaehod a certnin stage, any gain beyond this is secured at 'ail additional cost. This, of course, lessens the prolit, and whan the lower prices are considered, it is certainly not advisable to feed beyond a certain weight. In a majority of cases, hogs that are ready for market, weighing 175 to 200 pounds, uot only soil at tho best prices, hut cost less to feed than thoso that average 300 pounds,as tho additional weight is generally largely fat and is not whot the consumer wants. —Metropolitan and Kural Homo.

NOTES. Lot young poultry stay iu the nest un til they are thoroughly dry. Care must bo taken not to allow tho curly turkey eggs to get chilled. The Ornngo County Farmer proporly questions tho averment tiiat a certain “improved” tomato “does not rot.” Mrs. Belle 1’. Drury regards a good' lien as not only capable of laying 200 eggs a year, but “worth her board as an insect destroyer.” A Wisconsin farmer says, after atTex- pevionco of thirty years, that inn locality where stones lire available ho would as soon think of building a barn without a basement as without a roof. Look out for dried fruit offered you. It probably lias been bloaohod with sul phur, which destroys tho llavor. Taste it carefully before buying, or, bettor buy fruit that has not been bleached. If your barn-yard is low and tho wad ing good, draw iu an old stack bottom or the refuse hay from tho Held wliero the stack stood. It will save animal strength, prevent to a degree dirty milk and make manure. Tame lieus, like other tame and gen tle stock, have the advautage of using all their food for business. Fright wastes food in tlie bird as iu the cow; and also frequently causes broken eggs, broken windows iu tho hennery and other losses. Ground meat is sometimes used for chicks, but results show that too much of it causes bowel disease. It a pioco of lean meat be oooked to pieces (or chopped lino after cooking) and fed twice a week, it will bo sufficient. A gill of linseed meal to every quart of tho dry mixture (for making tho prepared cake) given once u week, will bo bene ficial. The large farm lias had its day and has got to go. Taxes are too high to pay on unproductive lauds. Small arms aud the' intonsive system of farming will do more to elevnto tho condition of American farmers than unlimited legislation. In tensive fanning calls for close attention, to all mntters, whicli only a good head can give. Lot the boys have the liouo- tit of careful training. RECIPES. Potatoes in Balls —Boil and dry tho potatoes in the usual way, and uinsli them quite fine, adding a little cream, poppei and salt aud a small piece of but ter; roll them in balls with n little flour, and brown them with a little butter, oi fry them. Buttered Parsnips—Boil lender, scrape and slico lengthwise. Put three lable- spoonsful of butter in a saucepan with popper, salt ami a little minced parsley. When hot lay in the parsnips, turn care fully until thoy boil, then spread iu a hot dish and pour the butter over. Sardine Sandwich—Itomovo tho skin of half a dozen sardines, aulit mi l tako out tUo bones. Spread stale slices of| i bread very thinly with butter, place oni each two halves of the llali, squeozo nl little lemon juico over thorn, add a crispj ; leaf of lettuco to each, and put n slice of buttered bread ou top. Park House Graham Muffins—Four eggs, one leucupful of brown sugar, two tablespoouful of melted butter or lard/ one-half teacupful of good yeast, a pigeh of salt, two quarts of graham flour, milk enough to mnkc a stiff batter. Mix nmi let it rise over night. In tho morning fill tho muffin rings half full and bake in n quick oven. Flowers in the Lists e( Food. Flowers enter largely into tho lists of food for human consumption. Artichokes arc immature flower heads, und cauli flowers liavo a close ailiuity. Brussels sprouts are buds whicli liavo not reached maturity. There is a variety of cabbage known ns “broeoli" tlint has boeu re claimed from tho sea. It is distinctively a maritime plnnt, and to secure for it sustcnanco as nearly ns possiblo like its nntural food star fishes are. gathered on tho bcnchos for manure. The crop is put iuto casks which havo contained Burgundy or Bordeaux, and broeoli finally comes to tho tnblo in tho form of pickles or chow chow. Yellow pond lilies make tine preserves. Nasturtium llowon, nro often used in salads. Tho flowors of the capor bush enter largely into sauces, and oloves—used for flavor ing—are the unexpended buds of tho clove tree dried iu the sun. The flowers or tho abutilon esculontum nro common ly used as a vegetable In Brazil. Somo North American Indians rognrd ns a del icacy tho cooked flowers of the pumpkin vine. For preserves, violots, jasmines and rose petals nro used, both as pre serves nnd iu tho form of confectionery. Tho seeds of plants are nlso largely used in various portions of the globe ns articles of food. Among the livers in Colorado and Arizona grass seeds are a much valued winter food for the Indians. Sunflower seeds afford a staple article of diet among the Indians of Southern Utah and olsowliore. In Southern California the lndiatm make broad from the pods of a plant cnlled the mosquito. The Ohineso carefully dry aud prepare water melon seeds for thoir varied menus.— Washington Star. The New Theory ol Nervous Diseases,' IJr. Cimlmor Prentice, of Detroit, who is staying nt the Vondome, has made a specialty of a particular kind of eye trouble, whicli lie says has u groat offcct upon tlie health of any cue who is n sufferer from it. To a representative of the Journal, he said “There are n great many people whose eyes ate slightly out of place, so til it the axes of thorn are not absolutely parallel. Iu tho majority of cases they are not sufficiently out of position to cause a squint, but there is a similar displacement, though only to a minute dogreo. In thoso cases tlie musclos which movo the eyeball are able to adjust the slight difference, so that the axes of the eyes are made par allel ami perfect vision takes place, fu order to maintain this harmonicas work ing working, the eyeball musclos are placed under a continual strain, which is communicated to the brain, and, being continued day after day, the ab normal tension in luces irritation of tho brain, which results in harmful olleats all over the system.” To support tho theory, lie states that in almost every instance tho nervous complaint is re lieved nnd removed after tlie eyeballs- havo been properly adjusted. Doctor Preutico is the inventor of a mottled of detecting latent eye strain, a most pernicious form, which 1ms eluded the old methods or tests, lie claims that by correcting those many remarkable cures are made of diseases heretofore considered incurable, such as diabetes, Bright's disease, spinal irritation, heart, lung, stomach brain and analogous dis eases.—Bostou Journal.
